It was just past six in the evening.
Balihe Police Station.
Once it was time to get off work, Xia Jie packed her equipment and left with her bag.
He drove Cao Jianjun's car and followed the GPS. He skillfully arrived at Cao Jianjun's residential area.
He bought some vegetable ribs from the fresh food store next door and went upstairs with one hand.
When she reached the door, she rang the doorbell. A moment later, the door opened. Zhou Hui, who was wearing pajamas, could not help but be stunned.
"Sister-in-law…"
Xia Jie picked up the vegetables in her hand and walked home."I'm Xia Jie, Brother Cao's colleague.”
"When Brother Cao went on a mission today, he asked me to accompany you for a few days. Brother Cao hasn't told you yet, right?”
Zhou Hui did not think too much about it.
After all, Xia Jie's police uniform would not arouse her suspicion.
"What? Accompany me?"
Zhou Hui was surprised at first, but then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry."Xia Jie, I know you. Jianjun told me before that you were an intern who entered the institute with Li Dawei and Yang Shu, right?”
"Yes, yes."
Xia Jie was a little girl after all. After placing the vegetables and meat on the dining table, she said somewhat uneasily,"Brother Cao said that you're pregnant and he's worried.”
"Aiya, I'm fine."
Zhou Hui did not dare to let the guests serve her. She pulled Xia Jie to sit on the sofa in the living room."Jianjun has always been like this.”
"Besides, I'm just pregnant. How can it be so exaggerated that I need someone to take care of me?”
"Come, sit down…"
As long as the two women did not have any grudges against each other, they would soon be able to chat fervently after sitting together.
Zhou Hui poured tea and water for Xia Jie, and Xia Jie helped Zhou Hui cook.
At first, the two women were polite, afraid to trouble each other. Later on, when they talked about delicious food, their relationship became closer.
Xia Jie was wearing an apron as she busied herself around the stove.
Zhou Hui stood by the sink and helped to wash up.
" Sister-in-law, it's too oily here. You can go out first…"
"Aiya, how can you be so delicate? I can't let you cook alone.”
"What's the big deal? I'll eat it anyway.”
"Haha, Xia Jie, there are only the two of us at home anyway. Don't be nervous. Just treat it as your own home.”
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law. I won't stand on ceremony.”
The two women chatted and laughed. After dinner was ready, Zhou Hui opened a bottle of rio cocktail for Xia Jie and poured herself a drink.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised carp, and two small vegetables.
The two of them ate happily. They talked about work, children, women, men, clothes, and food.
They started eating at 7:30 pm and ate until 9 pm.
Zhou Hui insisted on washing the dishes. Xia Jie was stubborn, so she took the mop and cleaned the house herself.
"Aiyo, my good sister."
When Zhou Hui, who came out of the kitchen, saw this, she covered her forehead."What kind of magic did your Brother Cao cast on you? Hurry up and rest.”
"Aiya, Sister-in-law, it's fine…"
"Come, let me…"
Zhou Hui was also a virtuous woman. How could she stand being served by others? As she spoke, she snatched the mop from Xia Jie's hand and cleaned it up herself.
It was already close to ten o'clock at night.
The inside and outside of the house were scrubbed clean, and the clothes that needed to be washed were also washed and dried.
Zhou Hui pushed Xia Jie into the bathroom and brought her a set of pajamas.
After the two of them took a shower, they returned to the bedroom and finally lay down.
"Xia Jie, you silly girl, if you're tired tomorrow, you don't have to come.”
Zhou Hui held her phone and leaned against the headboard."I know how busy the work in the station is. After a hard day, you still have to wait on me after work.”
"Haha, Sister-in-law, don't exaggerate.”
Xia Jie smiled disapprovingly." I told Brother Cao that I treat you as a citizen and serve you. It's just in line with my profession."”
"Tsk tsk, just wait. When your Brother Cao comes back, you must make him bleed.”
"Good! When the time comes, I'll pull Sister-in-law along…"
"Alright, let's go to the Kaiyuan Mall in the city center. I'll help you choose.”
"It's settled then."
Xia Jie narrowed her crescent eyes and formed a pair of dimples. She suddenly bent down and lay on Zhou Hui's stomach."Sister-in-law, is there any movement from the child inside?”
“……”
Zhou Hui rolled her eyes and said,"How can it be so fast? It hasn't even been three weeks."”
"Then what's it like now?"
Xia Jie blinked her eyes innocently.
"So big…"
Zhou Hui gestured with her fingers." Think about it. It's just an embryo that has just formed.”
"It's really amazing."
Xia Jie frowned." Sister-in-law, I heard that it hurts when you give birth. Is that true?"”
"I don't know either." "I haven't given birth either." Zhou Hui smiled bitterly.”
"Then are you afraid?"
"A little."
"Does Brother Cao want a child?"
Xia Jie's upper body was slightly tilted as she leaned her head on Zhou Hui's shoulder and chatted idly.
"That's not true."
"With your Brother Cao's personality, I think…he might not be in a hurry to have a child even after eight to ten years.”
"What? Why?"
"You want me to be the Empress."
Zhou Hui sounded a little disdainful, but her tone was filled with sweetness."He insisted on waiting for his life to get better, for his job to get promoted, for his family to have some money, and always waited…"
"Hehe, Brother Cao is doing this for your own good…"
"I know it's for my own good." Zhou Hui glanced at their wedding photos and said,"But I didn't marry him for his wealth. I liked him as a person.”
" Haha, he's old, he doesn't shower…"
Xia Jie immediately inserted a line from a TV drama playfully.
"What about you, Xia Jie? Have you thought about what kind of person you're looking for?"
"Um…No."
Xia Jie pursed her lips and shook her head thoughtfully.""I really didn't think about it. Maybe it's because my father died early and followed my mother since he was young.”
"That's right. Young people nowadays pay attention to late marriage and late childbirth.”
Zhou Hui said as she stroked Xia Jie's hair."However, no matter what you find, you can't find someone like your Brother Cao.”
"My Brother Cao is quite good."
"What's so good about it? You're as stubborn as a donkey.”
"Haha…"
Suddenly, Xia Jie thought of something. She sat up and whispered into Zhou Hui's ear,"Sister-in-law, I heard that the donkey…that…"
"Xia Jie…"
Zhou Hui's face turned red with embarrassment. She raised her hand and punched Xia Jie's shoulder."You brat, how old are you? Who did you learn it from?”
"Hehe, sister-in-law, I'm going to sleep.”
Xia Jie was also embarrassed. She turned around and fell asleep with the air conditioner wrapped around her.
